Greek Philosopher Plato had the men sussed

 The wonderful Greek Philosopher Plato (427 -347 B.C.) 
certainly had the men sussed.


"We can easily forgive a child who is afraid of the dark; the real tragedy of life is when men are afraid of the light." 



"Do you not see that in that region alone where he sees beauty with the faculty of seeing it, will he be able to bring forth not mere reflected images of goodness but true goodness, because he will be in contact not with reflection but with the truth? And having brought forth and nurtured true goodness he will have the privilege of being beloved by GOD, and becoming, if ever man can, immortal himself' 

"Strange times are these in which we live when old and young are taught in falsehood schools, and the one man that dares to tell the truth is called at once a lunatic and fool."









And as the Christ said 'There is light at the centre of a man of 
Light, and he illumines the whole world. If he does not shine, 
there is darkness' GT24.


The teachings of Plato, the Greek philosophers and the teachings of the
Christ fit well together if you understand the spiritual law.


"Blessed are those servants whom the master finds awake 
when he comes...."  Luke 12:37
